Upgrading engine brackets & power steering pump
I had a sweetheart deal on 97 and up engine accessory brackets and components. My question is regarding the power steering pump. It appears to have an electrical accessory on the back of the pump. Is this an electrically controlled flow/pressure component? Did they make pumps for a 1 ton 4wd that did not have this component? Safe to run without it hooked up?
Thanks for any assistance.
